The CEO of one of the city’s most influential charter school advocacy groups has been fired after being accused of “inappropriate behavior” by a non-employee.

“Immediately upon receiving a complaint about inappropriate behavior toward a non-employee by Jeremiah Kittredge, Families for Excellent Schools retained outside counsel to conduct an independent investigation,” the group said in a Wednesday afternoon statement. “As a result of this investigation and additional factors, Jeremiah has been terminated as CEO.”
